Anger » The anger of the lord
Sing praise to Jehovah, you his godly ones, and give thanks to his holy name. For His anger is only for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime! Weeping may last for the night but a shout of joy comes in the morning.
Jehovah is merciful and gracious. He is slow to anger, and rich in loving-kindness. He will not always chasten, nor will he keep his anger forever.
The land is blackened by the fury of Jehovah of Hosts. The people are fuel for the fire, and no one spares anyone else. They slice off what is on the right hand, but they will still be hungry. In the end they will even eat the flesh of their own arms (offspring) (turn upon themselves). Manasseh will feed on Ephraim, Ephraim will feed on Manasseh, and both will devour Judah. But even then Jehovah's anger will not be satisfied. His hand is still poised to unleash his power.
In that day you will say: I will praise you, O Jehovah. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me.
Jehovah said to me: Treacherous Judah was more reprehensible than unfaithful Israel. Go and proclaim this message to the north: 'Come back, unfaithful Israel. It is Jehovah speaking. I will no longer frown on you because I am merciful,' declares Jehovah. 'I will no longer be angry with you.
Jehovah is the true (faithful) (right) God! He is the living God and the everlasting king. The earth quakes at his wrath. The nations cannot endure his indignation.
Who is in Jehovah's inner circle and sees and hears his word? Who pays attention and listens to his word? The storm of Jehovah vents his wrath. A whirling tempest will swirl down on the head of the wicked. The anger of Jehovah will not turn back until he has performed and carried out the purposes (intent) of his heart. In the last days you will clearly understand it.
The storm of Jehovah will come with his anger. Like a driving wind, it will swirl down on the heads of the wicked. Jehovah's burning rage will not turn back until he has done everything he intends to do. You will understand this clearly in the last days.
Who is a God like you who pardons iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? You do not keep your anger forever, because you delight in loving-kindness (unchanging love). You will again have compassion on us. You will tread our iniquities under foot. You will throw all our sins into the depths of the sea. You will give truth to Jacob, and show loving-kindness (unchanging love) to Abraham. For you have sworn this to our fathers from the days of old.
